Southfield Police apprehends teen suspects in armed carjacking of DoorDash driver BY KATHRYN PENTIUK kpentiuk@candgnews.com
SOUTHFIELD — At 4:40 a.m. April 12, Southfield Police Department officers responded to the 25000 block of 12 Mile Road for an armed carjacking that occurred. The victim, a 20-year-old male DoorDash driver, was making a delivery to the Lakes Apartments when two masked suspects approached him and held him at gunpoint before taking his silver Dodge Charger with orange and black stripes. “The victim works part-time as a delivery driver for DoorDash — so simply out there, just making a few extra dollars, and then was victimized by these assailants,” Southfield Police Department Chief Elvin Barren stated at a press conference April 15.
